In his own words

If I've learned anything it is this: "leave hate to those who are too weak to love" and enjoy the blessings of life.
An ideal match? I don't know, all I can do is
be as honest about my taste, habits, and predilectons as possible. Honestly as a man, I believe we don't pick a match, they (women) pick us. Women are naturally intuitive. Men, well we just stumble along, and sometimes, we get lucky.
So, I won't even guess as to an ideal match. So I'll just describe myself.
I am an ol' school free spirit, kind of guy who came from Indiana to Cali in the 60s.I said "wow!"
this definitely is me. Lived in Venice, back when it was cheap to live there and (well) I was a
hippie. Met some wonderful people and avoided the drugs, games and nonsense. Because
I listened to my mother.
She told me two important things. One, get an education and you'll never have to beg. And two, if you learn to read you can figure out anything. I got the education, and she was right. I also have my own personal library of about fifteen hundred books. And no, I have not read all of them. And my motto? "don't take yourself too seriously because you might start to believe your own crap". But I do take my art very seriously. It is my passion, it keeps me sane and showed me the way to love.
The way I dress is very casual and my
demeanor to others, quite open. I love life, have no hidden agenda; and I'm very
comfortable in my skin. I believe this is possible only because I do what I love to do: be creative. I love to laugh and don't play games. Life is much too short for that. And as a sage once said, "when you leave, try to leave the world a better place, and have some fun along the way.,,'cause you sure can't take it with you". So that's what I do.
Peace, love and good blues to you.
